Ye Beiping and Jiang Hai greeted Li Peiqiang and then headed towards the state-run hotel.
In fact, Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming were already quite drunk, but fortunately, their respective subordinates helped them walk.
Walking down the dark streets of Wenzhou, Jiang Hai suddenly asked:
"Beiping, what's the deal with your official seal?"
Ye Beiping let out a soft sigh, took out the official seal from his bag, and smiled: "You mean this?"
"Hmm." Jiang Hai's pupils dilated slightly when he saw the official seal.
For someone who has been involved in smuggling, if they could get their hands on this, who would bother with smuggling?
It doesn't look fake at all.
Ye Beiping casually stuffed the official seal back into his bag and explained, "I had it engraved; it cost me five yuan."
"Five...five yuan." Jiang Hai's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth before finally saying, "That's really expensive, but carving this kind of thing doesn't cost..."
Before Jiang Hai could finish speaking, Ye Beiping provided the answer.
"What's the big deal? You just need to find someone with the skills. It's not like it's anything formal. Just ask around and see if anyone used to carve wood or if they're a carpenter who can do it."
Jiang Hai now understood; Ye Beiping had been prepared all along.
But then another question arose. He frowned slightly, recalling Ye Beiping's boasts, and asked with some difficulty, "What about what you told them tonight, could it be..."
How can Wenzhou leather shoes be sold overseas, with 100,000 pairs sold annually?
Jiang Hai wouldn't even dare to think about such things. Even if he were smuggling electrical appliances, he would only get a few units and make a few hundred yuan in the process.
"Don't worry," Ye Beiping said confidently.
But after a short while, he suddenly felt nauseous, ran to the roadside, bent over, and began to vomit.
vomit!
Ugh!
Ugh!
Tonight, Ye Beiping was the one drinking with Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming. Jiang Hai occasionally joined in a few drinks, but he hardly drank any himself.
After vomiting for more than ten minutes, Ye Beiping's legs gradually went weak.
Jiang Hai, looking disgusted, helped her walk towards the state-run hotel.
The two staggered back to their room.
Jiang He had been waiting anxiously, and when he finally saw the two return, he quickly asked, "Brother, why did it take you so long to come back?"
Seeing that Ye Beiping's face was flushed and that Jiang Hai was supporting him, he quickly went to lend a hand.
What's going on in Beiping?
Jiang Hai helped Ye Beiping to the bed before collapsing onto a chair next to him. After catching his breath, he explained what had happened that night.
"He's had too much to drink. He should get some rest. He has things to do tomorrow," Jiang Hai said, before heading back to his room.
After thinking about it, he took the two contracts out of Ye Beiping's bag and took them with him.
"Brother, what are you doing...?" Jiang He, who was taking care of Ye Beiping, was puzzled by Jiang Hai's actions and quickly asked, "Isn't this Beiping's bag? It's not appropriate for you to just take his things like this."
Jiang Hai frowned, glared at Jiang He, and scolded, "What do you know? Just take good care of Beiping tonight."
"Oh." Jiang He, who had been scolded, didn't dare to say anything.
The night was not long.
A few hours later, it was dawn.
Feeling a bit thirsty, Ye Beiping rubbed his head and subconsciously reached for the bedside table, wanting to get some water, but he couldn't find anything after groping around for a while.
Confused, he could only open his eyes and look.
Upon seeing a glimmer of light, and after a moment's pause to fully assess his surroundings, Ye Beiping realized he had been reborn and was now in a state-run hotel in Wencheng.
In this day and age, who would prepare a bottle of mineral water specifically for someone who is drunk?
Fortunately, Jiang He had brought hot water when he moved in yesterday. Ye Beiping scratched his head, glanced at Jiang He on the other bed, and went to pour water for himself.
The warm water slid down his dry throat, which made him feel a little better.
But something felt off; some inexplicable force was pulling him back to Hangzhou as soon as possible. If it weren't for this force, he probably wouldn't have told Li Peiqiang and Wei Daming last night that the goods needed to be ready today. Normally, it would take at least two or three days.
However, since the other party did not refute it last night, Ye Beiping let it be.
This is better, allowing you to earn money earlier and accumulate your first pot of gold sooner.
Little did he know that just as he woke up, a family of four in Hangzhou had already boarded a long-distance bus to Pingba Village.
After finishing his water, Ye Beiping glanced out the window and noticed that quite a few people were already walking around on the street.
Some were riding old-fashioned bicycles to work, while others were students carrying various backpacks or shoulder bags on their way to school.
Seeing this scene, apart from the fact that it's in color, it really does look quite similar to those old photographs.
"Hmm, Beiping, you... why are you awake so early?" Jiang He's lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Ye Beiping snapped out of his reverie, turned around, and smiled, "I had something important to do today, so I got up early."
Remembering that he hadn't told Jiang He about what he and Jiang Hai had done, he sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Jiang He, who was half-lying down, and said, "Jiang He, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm? Go ahead." Jiang He didn't even open his eyes, it was just a subconscious response.
"that."
Ye Beiping thought for a moment before speaking: "I haven't told you what your brother and I have been doing these past two days. Last night's matter has been mostly resolved. All that's left is to transport the goods to Hangzhou."
"And then?" Jiang He frowned slightly, noticing Ye Beiping's slow and deliberate speech.
However, Ye Beiping couldn't really say anything about this, since Jiang Hai would be essentially mortgaged in Wencheng, and they would have to return to Hangzhou.
